Brilliant view. A good place to go to if youre watching the Knoxville Nationals or are going to the Red Rock Dam Park or something. This is a perfect stop for a break from driving. Its got a nice view, and to anyone else whos reviewing, please dont put a picture from on top of the tower, please. Lets let the people go there to see the view in real life ;)

Be warned - youll need 2 quarters per person to get through the turnstile. I was here alone, put in my only 2 quarters that I had w/me, it opened up then locked before I even made a half turn. Wouldve been nice to know beforehand that $.50 was needed to go up the tower. This was my only chance to get to go up there. Such a shame.

Im sorry to note that the Cordova Observation Tower has been indicated in the wrong area. no problem, ill fix,it. Great tower tho. I got stung by a wasp on the way up, but the view made up for it
